State 10k Olympic Park - 38:06



All went to plan. Ran a 3:29 1st k and freaked out Tim so much he finally ran under 35. Well done mate.
2nd k was reached in 7:06. Think I'm moving a bit fast to sustain this pace, so it turned out when I reached the 5k in 18:43. 11:37 for 3k was a bit soft.

Had trouble keeping the pace between 5.5 to 7k mark. That bit included the 2 runs over the busway bridge and the carpark turn.

Finally crept back to the finish in 38:06. Splits of 18:43/19:23. Someone must have slipped a hill into the 2nd lap. My 2nd fastest 10k and the quickest since 2008 at North Head.

Next race I think is Mini Mos 10k on the 19th. A few more speed sessions and I'll get rid of that old PB from 2008.

Not bad Paul. Less than 10 minutes behind Marty. Not sure Mini-Mos is the course for a 37:40 but have a crack anyway.
